Welcome

The Cabarrus County Extension Master Gardener Volunteers are Extension-trained
volunteers, who help the County Horticultural Agent do their job
of teaching people about plants. We work to put on an annual herb
festival for the public in April. In the fall we help conduct the
environmental field days for the sixth graders in conjunction with
the county fair. We develop an educational booth for the county
fair. We staff various home and garden show booths along with special
projects.
